Spring Cleaning.....poems

Over the weekend have done a bit of tidying up, found some old poems I wrote a few years ago.....

27 January 2004

How did it happen?
That I gave you a piece of my heart
So quickly?
It's been raining
Since you left me
High and dry on the island of my emotion
By chance
I hope you return
Some day
To the place in my heart
Forever reserved
For you

27 January 2004 - Howzat, a cricket poem

Where di you come from
Into my heart like a pace bowler
And then gone again
Just as quickly
How is it?
That I didn't truly realise
What I had
Until the stumps were packed up
Momenets you could see my soul
Like exposed wickets
Yet you retired
Before the test match had even begun.

27 January 2004

I hold you in my mind
The only place I have left
Surrounded by the essense of you
Just a shaddow
Lurking
On the edge of my conciousness
The storm can't wash away these feelings of you
Marks still showing
As reminders of what could have been
You penetrated me
So deeply
Holes that will never close over
Gaps that only you can fill
